Texas @ Seattle
Okay, we're now dealing with a 2 game losing streak.
But not to worry...we have Sidney Ponson pitching tonight!
Go Rangers...

i know you're being sarcastic,
but he’s our 2nd best pitcher right now…
just got ownaged

The funny thing is....
Im actually really looking forward to watching Ponsoon. I like his assortment of pitches and when his pitches are really diving to the deck, he can make guys look foolish

slc, u here?
Boston is playing like crap. Sam Cassell needs to go back to LA….what a waste of space.

I'm just saying
that I think it’s funny how we are so desperate for pitching that we look forward to watching Sidney Ponson pitching.

Welp
It ought to be interesting to see if the Pontoon stays afloat today…

That lineup
should be able to score runs. When Hank comes back and Chris Davis comes up that seems to be a whole 1 through 9 that I enjoy looking at.
Am I wrong?

Agree wholeheartedly
I don’t even mind seeing Vazquez or Duran temporarily.

I'm gonna be pissed
if FSN didn’t give the feed to Time Warner again. It better be on in Austin.

Ponson
Could anyone who saw his last start talk about his stuff? Was it that good or did he just get lucky?
Fire Ron Washington
by pblack on May 6, 2008 8:38 PM CDT 0 recs
He was pretty good.
kept his stuff down and had good control.
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

Didn't get to watch...
but 8 IP, 5 H, 2 BB’s and 5 K’s sounds like his stuff was on.

He was good
Threw 108 pitches through 8 innings of work, 76 of which where strikes. Gave up 6 hits and walked two, but got two doubled play balls, and struck out 5.
The only run he allowed came on a broken bat bloop single.

Hamilton
has dropped from 336/386/582 to 300/347/531 in his last 5 games. Lets hope he can get back to his ways tonight.
It has probably just been a simple evening out.

Lots of lefty-finesse...
Nobody’s hit very well lately.

Does anyone else have FSN Kansas City
on their set???
I’ve got the Royals and the Angels but no Rangers. anyone else in that predictament?

Gavin Floyd of the CWS
No hitter thru 7. But he has given up a run.

How did that happen?
Four straight walks? Error?

Thanks
Yeah, that’s weird.
Of course, he is no-hitting the Twins, though – not all that hard to shut that offense down if you can get Mauer and Morneau out.

what?
I would trade our offense for their offense any day. (with hambone)

Lets see here...
Well, the Twins probably have the better OF offense, but save for Morneau their INF sucks. We’re without Blalock right now, but I’d still rather have our offense.

My guess..
2 walks then an error.
This could be a fun game to play.

Why...
Why has there been a rash of comercials for ED medicine during the late night Ranger games? Have we been that bad that its affecting our manhood?
On that note….

Don't most people
watch Ranger games sitting in a old-fashioned bathtub overlooking the Pacific Ocean?

Random thoughts...
I am counting on you posters, and Ponson, and Hammy to keep this game in check tonight.
Have fun!!!
Ibanez will be a coach/manager, based on the pre-game interview.
Ok, off to the other room to watch Iron Man.
Go Rangers!
Peace
Hehe-Keens w/the 2b!!!

double down the right field line
by hamilton. I’m calling it.

On the Seattle feed, it showed the AL RBI leaders
Ortiz has 26… where did that come from? Last I saw he was hitting like .150…
by Inkara1 on May 6, 2008 9:21 PM CDT 0 recs
he
started hitting while playing the Rangers, I think.

11 or 13 against us in that 3 game series

It was eternal.
I was cleaning up after dinner, so the game was in the background, but it certainly lasted forever.

I'm surprised he couldn't get two on that.
Or at least the runner at home.
Not that it bothers me, of course.

You know whats funny
Right now Jason Botts probably = Ritche Sexson.

The angle in Seattle made that look like it was headed out.
I’d prefer some hits to some sacrifices, but at least we’re getting runs.
by philkid3 on May 6, 2008 9:26 PM CDT 0 recs
Okay let's go here.
we need at LEAST 3 runs in this inning.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on May 6, 2008 9:26 PM CDT 0 recs
Ya.
If we can get the 3 runners that were loaded home, it is definitely a productive inning.

Nice AB by Boggs
A lot of rooks would have been up there hacking. He continues to impress me.
by lonestarJon on May 6, 2008 9:28 PM CDT 0 recs
His patience after just coming to the majors is amazing.
If he gets significant play this year, I’ll be interested to see who PECOTA compares him to.

How good is he on the bases?
I’m not particularly fond of the idea of running on Johjima.

We're headed to the 9th in Chicago...
Floyd no-hitter on the line
by cmkelly29 on May 6, 2008 9:29 PM CDT 0 recs
He has the 2-3-4 hitters in the Twins lineup
Harris, Mauer, Morneau. Three tough outs.
